In the U.S., 2020 is the year that colour won't just be restricted to one part of the face. Rather, Dior international makeup artist Ricky Wilson thinks that "clean colour" — bright washes of colour paired with simple or transparent-looking skin and lips — will be a huge trend in the United States this year.
"I think this trend will be huge because people really love all of the beauty looks on Instagram showing colourful makeup," he says. "[However,] many people feel like there are too many steps or colours involved. This is totally doable even for a person who struggles with makeup." These fun, innovative makeup looks are simple to create, and can actually stay pretty neutral if you're the kind of makeup lover who gravitates toward more nudes. He recommends experimenting with pinks, blues, lilacs, and oranges because they're usually the most flattering and versatile.
Try out the trend by evening out your skin with a sheer coverage foundation for a natural finish. Take a brightly-coloured blush and sweep it from the apples of your cheeks up onto your cheek and brow bones. If you want to tie in your eye look as well, apply the blush onto your eyelid up through your crease. Keep your lips simple with a transparent gloss, and fill in your brows with a pencil to add more structure to the look.
